PR boot failure ***MORE HELP NEEDED!!!!***

I recently reformatted my computer due to a physical fault with the the hard disk. I have now formatted and installed all drivers on the new hard disk. I have installed Bf2 and patched to 1.5, i have installed all parts of PR and the map pack.

However, neither game will run. I use kaspersky internet security, and both programs have been made "trusted" = no interference from firewall.

When i double click the PR.exe shortcut on desktop, the PR startup loading screen appears, before dissappearing and nothing happening.

When i double click the bf2 icon, the screen goes black as if preparing to launch the game, but then crashes to desktop.

Both shortcut directories are correct, and i have deleted the battlefield 2 folder in my documents.

Both games work 100% without no problems on my old hard disk.

Before anyone suggests re-installing, i am very hesitant too as it has taken me a total of 2 and a half days to download all the patches and PR-installation parts necessary.

Any help/suggestions? I will be forever in your debt if solution is found / any help given.

Install BF2.
Run BF2.
Note the version number on the bottom left corner of the log-in screen. Write it down.
log in or create a user account.
join online game.
adjust your audio and video settings now for convenience.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

i downloaded all of it using the Opera internet browser, and when promted i selected "run" instead of save, and can find no trace of installation files on my pc I think they automatically deleted out of temp-internet files after installation :/ . & I a have 900 gb of hard disk space free

To modify the settings, (In your case to find the setting) type the URL: opera:config

Navigate to “User Prefs” tab and modify its cache folder: Cache Directory4 =C:\Temp\Opera\ or where ever you have it set to. Find this location and go search in Windows Explorer.
(alternative quick jump link: opera:config#UserPrefs|CacheDirectory4)

Cache Directory4 is where the downloaded installation files will be located, if they still exist on your HDD.
You can do a quick search in the windows explorer for large files to speed up looking through all the subdirectories.

thankyou for the assistance, however i followed the instructions above and did indeed find the folder you speak of. However, all the folders are empty. the biggest one there is an internet link called "dcache4" which is 2,552kb , but when i double click to open it i get

"the target of this Internet Shortcut is not valid. Go to the internet shortcut property sheet and make sure the target is correct."

No sign of the files i downloaded and installed :/ could they be anywhere else?
